TF THE rain which fell yesterday nnd wiped away the dust on the ball fieJtl also will erase tlic dust which has gath ered In the White Sox hatting eye?, ' they maystlll have a chance to cmcrs;o from the somber grotto which now aurrounds their fading hope. Yesterday's rainy rest gives Kid Gleason's pitching staff a tidy .breath ing spell and practically insures fine pitching for his next three stnrs. lie will have Claude Williams ready and rested for today, Dick Kerr poised and primed for tomorrow and Eddie Cl cotto yearning for revenge on Wednes day, all with a suitablo period of re pose for their left and right wings. These three Sox pitchers In their last three starts have held the Itcds to twelve blows, an average of only four to the nfternoon. Hut even gay and gaudy pitching Isn't going to matter very mucji uu less the once -famed Sox attack can break its way through the Red defense, which so far has held the Sox strug gling vainly -in the, outer meshes of the barbed -wiro entanglements. One Earned Hun There have been many varied and subtle reasons offered for the White Sox disaster up to date, but the main reason is as clear as a rugged moun tain peak outlined against an autumn sky. In their four starts the Sox have earned exactly ono run, a depressing average o one-fourth of ono run to each contest. With this sordid and impassive fact confronting you, why look deeper for minor sidelights that mean but little when a ball club cun cam only one run every fourth game? It has about as much chance o winning as the JFifty-first Landwchr replacements had of driving the First Division out of Ohcppy just a year ago. The Ilea's havo rolled up twenty tallies in the four games, where the Sox have gathered six and of these six precisely five wcro pure and tin contaminated gifts. To win now they must bag four of the next five games and the only sure way of turning this festive trick is to go out and get a few runs for Williams, Kerr and Ci cotto ns they take their respective Btands in front of the Ued bats. Strong Ited rltclilng It requires no world-beating brain to suggest that the Reds now have the call They only need two of the next five games, and they have Ructher, Ring, Sallce, Bller and Fisher In fit condition to handle the assignment. Tbeso have been sufficient to hold the Sox attack in check so far, but you never can tell when n slugging outfit such as the Sox always have been, sud denly will wheel and begin hitting the ball into safe territory. Before the series started It was mainly a question as to whether Kid Gleason's pitching staff could stand the test. No ono fretted much over the ability of Eddie Collins, .Toe Jackson, Happy Felsch, Buck Weaver, etc., to step forth and pummel a few run across. But since the series opened the dope has flopped, one of the best things the dope does when the cage door is opened and it is allowed to roam at will it Is no longer a question of Sox pitch ing but of Sox batting, for the indica tions now arc that Williams, Kerr and Clcotte will turn In their share of the stuff through tho rest of the scries. In chiding the Sox for their inabil ity to break through, it is just as well not to overlook the.rare praise due the Red defense for its fine pitching and Its sharp support from the field. The Red Defense The Sox attack has not got started for the simple reason that Red pitchers and Red fielders have risen to cham pionship heights and have offered far greater resistance than quite a number ever gave them cre'dit for possessing. Ruether, Ring and Bailee held the So without an earned run wliila, Raj Fisher only permitted one untainted tally. Sallee was hit hardor than any of his mates, but the ancient Sheriff has a way of. rising in tho nick of time to suppress a run. He will have a harder " time on his next appearance, despite the lest he has drawn. Those who are supporting the Sox still have this hunch to work on : There has been only one nine-gamo world series on record, and in this series Pittsburgh won three of the first four games and still lost to Boston, who rallied, got going, and bagged four of tho last five starts. The Sox cause isn't any too bright, but it isn't nearly as desperate as many seem to figure it. Tito Squawk With Williams, Kerr and Clcotto primed, they have an excellent chance of bagging two of the next three games. This will leave the Reds leading by a margin of four games to three. If they should lose them, what a terrific squawk there would be from Red rooters over the extension of the series from seven to nine tames. Tou will hear it from California to Florida, and the rising wall will break in upon the Jazz melody of Broadway and the autumn music of the Oregon pines. The extension of the series to nine games now favors the Sox, which show's again that you neyer can tell what the future will slip you when fate gets to . work. The Reds are working their way In the general direction of the triumph al arch. They have played great base ball and have deserved every fjamethey have won. But they still have to win two ball games from a fine ball club that is now thoroughly aroused with three fine pitchers to help out the rally. Must Maintain Face They can only do thlsoy maintaining , the swift pace they have set from the start, They aro not going to drift into the winners' end'unless we have mis- judged -badly the. general character and "" ftbUUr'X thBox, machine,.

Kid Glea son saldlhis morning: "We didn't need any ,roiuy day to give us n chance to get rested up for the next game. Tho White Sox were ready to battle tho Reds nnd there were two or three pitchers eager for the chance to get in there. The scries isn't over. K "They took three out of the first four. Suppoie we should take three out of the next four? I guess It would look different then. "Well, aft wc need is an even break in luck. If wc had an even break we would have about three games on our side now." legs nnd begin displaying some of the stuff that drove back Cleveland, Detroit, Iew York nnd Boston in the season's dash for the flag. The series Is fairly sure to go to eight games, and there is n strong possibility that it will flounder along to the ninth. Claude Williams hopes to have his con trol better tamed today, and he will face cither Ructher or Hod Kllcr before the two clubs start back to tho Rcdland revival.

Here's how: Was 1 up on W. H. Gardner In the morning and then flour ished home with n win of 2 and 1 In the final round. Romped on J. N, Stearns in the sec ond round. Playing over his boyhood links, of which It was said at me tournament he could play in his sleep. Herron then caught n newcomer, W. J. Thompson.

Of his mntcli against Bobby Jones, the joungster, enough has been said of tho rjnrtlsnn slilp of the gallery, of flic megaphones, etc. That wasn't Herron's fault, but It didn't make a win too difficult, nnd this series of cventj, marks his parade to his title'. Reports have been coining from Pittsburgh of his subsequent de feats there. Phlladelphians know of the match in Philadelphia, where he wns beaten by Norman Maxwell in the Linnewood Hall scries.
